AddNodeRight does not cover scope ("this item", "sub-items", "this item & sub-items")

We are using the AddNodeRight() operation within ProcessPlatform (Cordys) in order to assign ACL to folders and documents dynamically.

We have a process that stores multiple documents in a specific folder in OTCS.

All process participants (can change/be added during the process lifetime) must get access to the folder and all the sub-items of that folder.

Assigning ACL to a folder or a document works fine.

Now we would like to reduce the number of service calls here by assigning the ACL to the folder once - with the option "this item & sub-items". It seems that this is not covered by "AddNodeRight" operation. Is there another operation that can be used in order to pass the option "this item & sub-items"?

All hints are appreciated!

It seems that "UpdateNodeRightsContext" can handle this.

We will see to get the details for the elements "operation" and "propagation" and then will test if that does the trick.

So far we cannot get "UpdateNodeRightsContext" to work.

We tried operations "Add", "Replace" and "AddReplace" with the propagation "TargetAndChildren".

But it always returns:

      <ns2:ChunkSize>30</ns2:ChunkSize>      <ns2:ContextID>794713090</ns2:ContextID>      <ns2:Finished>false</ns2:Finished>

An no permissions are set for the folder.

Any ideas?

Found the solution here:

We have to run "UpdateNodeRightsContext" first, then pass the response to "UpdateNodeRights".
